This wasn't the plan.
For almost a decade, I worked in
real estate.
I was building a career and living the life I thought I was going to live.
Then my son was born at 25 weeks
And the plan changed.
I nearly lost my life bringing him into the world. Then I spent months beside an incubator, learning a whole new definition of a good day.
A gram gained. A little less oxygen. Getting to hold my baby.
Years later, I went back to school to become a nurse. Eventually, I found myself right back in the NICU.
Only this time, I was standing on the other side of the bed.
First as a mother. Then as a nurse.
That perspective has never left me.
Nursing changed the way I see people.
I've spent more than a decade caring for babies and families when life looks nothing like they expected it to.
Nursing taught me how to listen, ask better questions and speak up when something matters. It also made me incredibly curious about people.
I began wondering why we can walk through similar circumstances so differently and what influences the way we think, respond and move through the world.
I wanted to understand more, and that curiosity eventually led me to holistic nursing and coaching.
It gave me a wider lens for looking at people, not just what was happening to them, but how they were living through it.
And that's really how I got here.
I love people. I'm fascinated by the human experience and by how much influence we have in the middle of our wonderfully ordinary lives.
Small things matter. The thoughts we entertain, the words we say and the ways we show up for one another may not feel significant in the moment. But they add up. They shape how we live and how other people experience us.
Big moments can change our path. But so much of life is created in what happens next.
That curiosity led to The Seed Project podcast, where I get to hear people's stories, have meaningful conversations, and explore what it means to live well and make a difference along the way.
I'm still curious. I'm still learning. I hope I always am.
Because I don't want to move through this life without really being here for it.
I want to live the whole thing.
